Yisrael Beytenu Chairman MK Avidor Liberman set a series of red lines on Monday ahead of possible negotiations to form a coalition government following the elections.
Amid reports of the anti-Netanyahu bloc's various options for forming a coalition, Liberman wrote on X that his party will not, "under any circumstances," be part of a minority government. "There are matters that we will not concede on, whether I serve as prime minister or a minister," he stressed.
Liberman also addressed reports about the internal tensions in the opposition bloc, saying that the reports about pacts and axes between the parties are untrue. "Anyone who writes and reports about such and such axes or agreements within the opposition pitting one against the other is lying through their teeth," he wrote.
Liberman focused his remarks on the issue of haredi conscription. He rejected the possibility of a partial exemption following recent suggestions that some young haredi men could be excluded.
“There will be no exemption for 30%, 3%, or even a single person," he declared.
Liberman said the next government should advance a Draft Law applying to all Israeli citizens - Jews, Muslims, Christians, Druze, and Circassians - through either military or civilian service.
